Stevens of Warsaw, past national commander of the American Legion and a member of the AEF in the last war, declared that he was no seer or prophet but that common sense seemed to call for complete de militarization pi Uermany, "so that the only weapons in the hands of Germans will be imple ments for tilling the soil"; de industrialization ' oi Germany so that the only, products made there will be those needed in times of peace; complete re-education, to be controlled for two generations, of German youth. The Judge prefaced his remarks! on me peace witn a piea to ren der the fullest measure of serice to the last whistle." In speaking of the probability of Germany giving up, he said, "It looks as though Germany will capitulate before cold weather." ''Suppose they do quit will America be prepared?" he asked. "German officials are first go ing to attempt to save their necks., Then they will attempt to save their clique so that it will be in a position to make war again wifhin 10 years, when all their pent up hatred and venom will be shifted and vaunted upon the American people." ."Are we going to put our mer chant marine in the graveyard again?

The State Park Will Be Established Near Seven Spring Draft Board Calling Men Selective Service Officials Say Number of Men Available In N. C. Under 26 Is Ex hausted; Rules for 36-37 Age Group More Liberal Selective Service officials in North Carolina on August 1 will i begin the drafting of men in the ao-m and in the 30-37 age groups according to selective service headquarters In Raleigh. Various state boards are au thorized to fill draft qaotas with men in either of the two higher age groups whenever the under-26 supply is exhausted. That supply is expected to be exhausted in North Carolina by the end of July. Under selective service regu lations adopted on May 12, for a man in the 26-29 age group to be deferred because of industry, he must be found to be "necessary to and regularly engaged in an essential activity," - the selective service official explained. "For a man in the 30-37 group to be de-" ferred, because of industry, it is only required that he be regularly engaged in an essential activity." Pointing out that rules for de ferment in the 30-31: group are more liberal than in the 26-29 age group, tha official stated, however that men in the 30-37 group who cannot qualify for deferment, are subject to induction at the same time as men. under 30. ; Navy again?'
